Split toning

Adding one color tint to the highlights and another to the shadows of an image, for example warm highlights and cool shadows.

In the darkroom, split toning happens when a print is toned in a way that affects light and dark tones differently (see toning). In digital editing it is a simple slider. It is often used on black and white images.
